Creating a Return on Environment^sm

How Do You View Sustainability?

For business leaders today, the risks related to “climate change” and “environmental footprint” have become key terms in the management lexicon. From a strategy perspective, leaders are asking:

• How can we manage the risks, seize opportunities and create new products, services and business models?

• Is there a competitive advantage from applying sustainability as a business strategy?

• How do we competitively position the business in response to shareholders, regulators and influencers?

• How do we measure performance?
  

Just look at the business case. Faster time to market; reduced operating cost; and enhanced brand value are just a few of the opportunities driving companies to rethink their business strategy and ask “what is our return on environment?”

metavû helps company’s develop the strategy and organizational capabilities to manage environmental risk and corporate social responsibility (CSR) throughout the business value chain.

Our Return on Environment (RoE) approach helps company’s build sustainable shareholder returns by:

• Optimizing business performance to mitigate regulatory / operating risk;
• Discharging legacy liability at lower lifecycle cost; and
• Executing strategy to build and maintain sustainable business excellence.

Deploying a Sustainable Business Model

We say “sustainable” because there are near term bottom-line and long term top-line benefits to managing environmental and CSR risk throughout the business lifecycle.

So what is the “corporate DNA” of a culture that creates sustainable shareholder returns?

While business models vary by industry sector, the benefits of risk mitigation, cost reduction and profit contribution are driving companies to assess these opportunities. From a business case perspective – this is more than implementing an “environmental management system” – this is about moving the culture toward an “Environmental Agenda” focused on capital stewardship and operational excellence.

So what’s your company’s Return on Environment strategy? How can you leverage the market differentiation that CSR performance gives in your sector?
